what's new in this release for vicnames?

With this release, VICNAMES is incorporating the PLM25 dataset and is also incorporating the improvements made to the Plan Zone and Plan Overlay layers, similar to LASSI and LASSI-SPEAR.


PLM25 data in vicnames


Public Land Management (PLM25) dataset describes public land management for the State of Victoria , where public land is defined as land held by/vested in/or owned by DELWP and other governmental departments, public authorities, the Commonwealth government and municipalities.

Public land includesstate forests, parks and reserved and unreserved crown land, including estuarine, coastal and marine areas to the 3-nautical mile limit (5.5 km) from the high-water mark. This layer describes the primary management, land manager and the VEAC recommendations.

PLM25 is a derived layer, using VMPROP.PARCEL_CROW N_APPROVED as the base layer. It relies on tabular and spatial sources to get the proper land description. PORTAL, CLR_VOTS and PRIMS are the tabular sources of information. PARKRES, VEACRECS25 and CL_TENURE are the spatial sources. Additional layers were also created to describe areas of state forests, plantations, water frontages and commonwealth land.

Planning Zone and Overlay Information in VICNAMES


Currently, the LASSI, LASSI-SPEAR and VICNAMES applications display the Planning Zone that applies to a parcel or a property in the "Identify Property" tab when a parcel or a property is identified using the "Identify Property" tool. We have improved on this functionality by adding "Plan Overlay" information as well to this section. Now, when you identify a property or parcel in LASSI, LASSI-SPEAR and VICNAMES, the identify property tab will also display all Plan Overlays that are applicable to the identifed parcel or property.

We have also added more details to the map base to make it easier to identify the various Plan Zones and Plan Overlays when the relevant layers are displayed on the map.
